The prediction of viscoelastic properties of layered composites on example of cross ply carbon reinforced plastic.

Structure- phenomenological hereditary model for prediction of viscoelastic properties of layered polymer composites based on hereditary mechanics and theory of laminated plates relationships was elaborated. Interrelated creep and relaxation constitutive equations of layered composite was derived on the basis of algebra of resolvent operators and matrix algorithms. On example of cross-ply carbon reinforced plastic the prediction of viscoelastic properties was shown. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
